- Will I have to run negative camber in the front and rear?
- What is the widest tire I should put in the front with a roll?

I want to get the concave look all around


Will the concave face clear the stock front brakes?

1. yes it will fit....i have 19x10s with 275/35
2. no
3. id say 255/265 for a mild stretch.

Ok, so how about 255/40 front and 275/40? Do those sidewalls seem fine? I have a strange feeling that 255's won't fit in the front with 17x10 +25.

with 19x9J+24 and 19x10+24, what size of tires will i need to run these badboys flush with only a rolled fender? i dont want it to be stretched too much but what are my options? im thinking 225-245 in front and 255-275 in the rear, which will be better? thanks!

I don't have any very good one's showing how it really sits in respect to the fenders, I assume that's what you wanted to see. Here's a couple other shatty pictures for now though that kind of show...

i think you'd be close...i have 245's on 8.5 and its pretty close.

but you would have 255 on 10s meaning it would stretch so you might be ok.


i think you'd be fine but id get a second opinion.

im looking for a decent daily driven staggered setup do any of you think this would be ok without any fender mods? i dont like rolling/pulling fenders.

F 19 x 8.5 245/35/19 +30 offset
R 19 X 9.5 275/30/19 +30 offset..

if not they offer the rims i want in +38 also

dunno if you saw racinstylez old sc, but he had same sizes but with +26. he had 225/35 up front and 265/30 out back using falken st115 tires (which btw run a little smaller than other tires). it was pretty flush with just a shave.
